Noah Bent His Arm!

Post by NoahsMommy »

Yesterday I was playing with Noah and doing his exercises and to my shock and disbelief, he bent his arm at the elbow! I had my hand holding his upper arm down just so I could make sure it was really bicep function, and he did it again! He did it 4 times before getting fussy and starting to cry. I cant believe it!! Im praying that this is the beginning of his recovery. Can someone tell me how to post a video? I got it on video :-) He is now 9 weeks old and this is the first sign of improvement we have seen. Please pray for him.

That is amazing. My son is 3 months and just started bending his elbow. It sounds like he is doing very well.

I am not sure how to post videos but you could post to youtube and copy the link in here if they can't be uploaded.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
